The apse has a band of scrolly ornament linking the sills. Gabled bellcote at the

decorated with zigzag and simplified beakhead. The latticework gable dates from
1880. Row of corbels across the gable. The south side of the nave has one tiny

geometrical tracery. The apse has three round-arched windows with nook shafts,
cushion capitals and roll-moulded arches. The bays divided by pilaster buttresses.
The north side of the chancel is blind and the north side of the nave has a blocked
round-arched doorway and a broad round-arched window set high up. At the west end
of the nave are two narrow round-arched windows set one above the other.
INTERIOR:
Elaborately ornamented arches between nave and chancel and chancel and apse. Tunnel
vault over the chancel and a rib vault over the apse. Transverse arch with three
roll mouldings and two ridges. Two ribs to the apse vault of the same profile. The
apse vault is supported on half-columns with carved capitals. Aumbry recess on the
north side of the chancel. The font has a tapering square bowl on a square base
with colonettes. Grave slab (north west corner of the nave) Anglo-Norman, with a
representation of a chalice and paten resting on an altar and a blessing hand.
